    Hey Zolly,
    always great hacks 👍.
    Perhaps you can also deal with the MA 2 battery self-discharge problem. Many MA2 owners complain about this. The battery simply discharges too quickly. There is definitely a way you can point out how to slow it down or stop it. Keep it up, the videos and explanations are great!
    Greetings from Germany

    • @ZollyD
      @ZollyD  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks! :) I would need a battery to say for sure, but these self discharge things (If you mean that the battery after a while on purpose discharges itself for safety reasons) all work the same way. Ususally a MOSFET turns on and start to discharge the cell via a resistor.
      Solution 1: delay the MOSFET to open with a pre defined time. (few ours, days)
      Solution 2: Change the resistor to a bigger value so it discharges slower.
      Solution 3: Combination of the 2 above
      Solution 4: The voltage to which the cells are discaharged can also be adjusted. So it does not discharge to 3.7V but only to 3.95v
      I would probably prefer the last one as it is an important safety feature to not have LiPos fully charged.
      :)

    U can mount a hook on the drone's bottom - moving forward and then backward u ll initiate the move/energy which will drop the load.

    • @ZollyD
      @ZollyD  3 роки тому +2

      Yes!👍 And that is one of the ways it can be done on the Mavic Mini (because it does not have front LED). My only problem with that method is if you want to aim where to drop, you need to look down. Like this you can aim as long as you want and drop precisely. :)

    this is an ingenious solution, as an electric lock with a motor and gears is not needed.
    No extra weight as the construction is lightweight
    but I would use a piece of thin copper wire that would simply burn out when electricity is applied to it 😁

    • @ZollyD
      @ZollyD  3 роки тому +3

      Thanks! :) Yes, that was my first version as well, I mention it in the end of the video, but I had 2 problems with it.
      1. I did not want fire hazardous temperatures even for a fraction of a second.
      2. the thin copper wire was more prone to break due to the wind swinging the payload.
      So I went with this method.
      And imagine to just tap into the drone battery, (of course then the bottom resistor has to be 47 Ohms) then no need for extra battery cell. The 200 mA current draw will not kick the BMS. :) Than we are under 249 grams (of course without payload, which is the whole purpose of the thing! ) 😂😂😂😂😂

    First I thoug what a overdimensioned transistor, later I saw the reason why. I found a construction error. The GPS of the Mavic Mini 2 is in the middle of the chasis. You put there the external battery. Put the external batterie over the internal battery on the back of the chassis then you will recive GPS signal. And I would glue the transistor on the external batterie and not on the drone. Makes it easier to remove all, only one glue point. But nice idea to use remote LED lights with a fotodiode. Btw. in Germany (and Europe?) it is for security reasons forbidden to have a drone that can drop things.

    Great idea but instead of using heat to release the payload , why not use a small solenoid instead ? (instant release, uses less power and more reliable).

    • @ZollyD
      @ZollyD  3 роки тому +2

      You are right! I was thinking about it. I had no solenoid home. Had a servo, but I did not want to use microcontrollers to keep it simple. Plus for the solenoid it would be nice to have some 3D printed parts, which I do not have. So all in all it was simpler for me to do it like this. :) One day maybe I do a refined version!? ;)

      Hey Bud, i just found your question, You can safely use a basic 25w~30w soldeing Iron & a easy to work with & cheap Solder wire is a 60/40 Alloy - Flux core - 1.25mm Solder for this project & the majority of the worlds cct board built electronics !

    If the light can be pulsed by the pilot, several functions could be crudely implemented with a microcontroller on the drone. I don't have a DJI drone (yet) so I'm not sure if it's possible or not...

    • @ZollyD
      @ZollyD  2 роки тому +1

      Correct. Unfortunately the pulsing method is so unreliable that it is not relly working well. I made a video with using a color sensor on the front LED. That gave 10 different functionalities to the setup. Which is plenty I think. 😊

    Hello Zolly.. I hope you are well today. I was wondering if. You separated the mini 2 and the controller far apart (2km) on the ground and turned them on would they bind?

    • @ZollyD
      @ZollyD  3 роки тому +2

      Hi! It works as far as the controller can each. At ground level the reception is way-way worse when you do not have visual line of sight.

  • @fishmonger1526

    Hey Zolly, thanks for the video great information. So I opened up my Mini 2 and checked the wiring from the PCB to the front LED, thinking I could just run some electronics direct from that instead of using the photo diode. The connector from the front LED has 3 wires, 1 ground and 2 positive 5V leads. What is odd is they are 'always on' and always provide 5V signal even if the LED light is turned on or off with the controller. Do you know anything about this?

    • @helloworld8136
      @helloworld8136 2 роки тому

      It’s most probably ground pulsed

    • @ZollyD
      @ZollyD  2 роки тому +1

      Yes. 1 is ground and 1 is 5v supply. The third one which seems to be 5v is a high frequency data line. Those front LEDs are not being driven directly. The data line is being decoded on the LED end and thus provide the proper color. The databus is very fast. I think it was 6 bytes of data in a packet every millisecond.

    Hi zolly can you tell me what mosfet would work with a 2 resistor setup except not resistor but special wire that gets red hot
    I used the one listed here but burnt up after 10 uses with 2 Lipo 3.7 400 batteries in series
    I was thinking about 2 mosfet one for each side but idk

    • @ZollyD
      @ZollyD  2 роки тому

      2 mosfets on the 2 side will not work. The Mosfet used is quite beefy already. You have to change the red hot wire to a thinner one, which blows in a very short time to not fry the Mosfet.
